III Jiangshan

The palace examination for female subjects was held in Xuanhua Palace as scheduled.However, this year is different from previous years.

In previous years, although the emperor was the chief examiner in name in the palace examination, he only delineated the questions of regular affairs, handed them over to the officials, and answered them with the examinees who participated in the palace examination.But this year, the emperor unexpectedly appeared in the Xuanhua Hall, sitting in the supreme position of the hall.

Such a change surprised the etiquette officer and most of the candidates.You know, many people will never have the chance to see Tianyan in their lifetime.After this palace examination is over, some people will fail the rankings, and they will be able to see the true face of the emperor, and they will have more talk when they return home.

Compared with the excitement and nervousness of the candidates, the etiquette officer was more anxious and cautious——

In previous years when the palace examination was held, all the candidates would salute to the empty chair in the middle of the front of the palace, and then open and answer the questions. Today, the chair is sitting on the chair, and the guards and all the guards in the palace are also ready. It seemed more solemn and serious than before.

Your Majesty is right there, nothing can go wrong!

The officer of ceremonies thought to himself, praying to God that these candidates would not be fooled by anything.Of course, like many Wei officials, he didn't understand why the emperor had come to watch the imperial examination on a whim this year.

The so-called sacred will is unpredictable, is it for that one?

The ceremony officer was meticulously presiding over the agenda of all the disciples to worship and salute the emperor, while stealthily glancing at the figure in the second row to the west, wearing an unremarkable moon-white skirt.

It is embarrassing that the once lord of the first palace in the harem has been reduced to this point.The ceremonial officer shook his head secretly.

However, the world is unpredictable, maybe after today, it will reach the sky in one step!Look at His Majesty's attitude!Isn't that obvious?

The ceremonial officer still remembered the anecdotes about the former Empress Zhou heard in the court hall a few days ago, the emperor, the king of Xiangyang County, several princes, the adults of the first and second ranks, and the worst was the censor of the fifth rank. My lord, because of this one, there was a lot of quarreling in the hall.

The etiquette officer made a silent note in his heart, and he said that no matter what occasion he meets in the future, he must deal with it respectfully and carefully.

In order to look more approachable in today's palace examination, Yuan Youqi specially did not wear bright yellow, but instead wore a royal blue swallow suit with a gold crown on his head and a jade rhinoceros leather belt around his waist; The thread-embroidered dragon pattern shows her status as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

She was already good-looking, but wearing such a suit made her look like a crown jade, with a clean temperament and a tall and straight figure.Because the structure of the Xuanhua Palace is not like that of the Golden Palace, the distance between her throne and the disciples below is not very far.Such a distance made it easier for her to see the people below, and it also made it easier for the people below to see her.

A few candidates saw Tianyan for the first time, but they didn't expect the emperor who had passed his thirties to be so good-looking, so they were a little dumbfounded.

The ceremonial officer noticed from the side and scolded them not to look directly at Tian Yan, they were startled, and after shaking nervously, they hurriedly lowered their heads, the blush on their faces had already stained the roots of their ears.

Yuan Youqi sat on the top and saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help laughing.

She will not be as knowledgeable as young ladies. To be an emperor, one must have the heart of an emperor.Just take a few glances, I'm so beautiful, if no one takes a few more glances, wouldn't it be a hidden gem?Yuan Youqi was particularly open about it.

Of course, she didn't care about such a trivial matter at all, just as she was not interested in exploring how her courtiers slandered her.She came to Xuanhua Hall in person today just to see a person.That's the most important thing to her—

Yuan Youqi secretly glanced at the second figure in the first row to the east: the familiar graceful figure, the blue skirt...

Ah Heng is dressed in the same color as I am today!Yuan Youqi's heart felt sweet, itchy and warm.

She desperately wanted to look at Mochi a few more times, it would be best if she could stare at it all the time, and it would be best if she could hug him...

But she still managed to control it.She didn't want to cause trouble for Mochi, so she occasionally glanced at the location of Mochi seemingly unintentionally, which made her even more restless in her teasing heart.

In her head, she began to miss the feeling when she embraced Mochi, and the feeling when she kissed Mochi...

The majestic son of heaven, like the little ladies who have just seen the sky for the first time, has hot ears.

Fortunately, no one dared to face her right now, so she wouldn't be ashamed.

In order to prevent cheating, every time the palace examination, the ministers who read the papers secretly discussed ten questions and presented them to the emperor. Then the emperor delineated a question on the spot, copied it by the clerk, and handed it to the candidates to answer the questions.These topics range from two to three hundred words to as many as seven or eight hundred words.

However, Emperor Jinke decided not to open the situation. Instead of going through the minister who read the paper, he wrote a topic himself, and Tang Xi gave it to the clerk to copy.

Several clerks were a little dumbfounded when they saw the question: Can they still come up with such a question?Wouldn't it be too...simple?

However, they didn't dare to say anything, they just copied the topic honestly, and the officials distributed it to the subordinates.

And Zhu Juzi was also stunned the moment he saw the title.A few people even read the exam paper over and over several times, for fear that there was content on the back that they might have missed.

All because there are only two words in the title: Senior Citizen.

Everyone's reaction was within Yuan Youqi's expectations.

She was secretly amused in her heart, but she was full of anticipation for the answers of the candidates.Just as she personally drafted the content of "bad government" during the test, she wanted to see with her own eyes whether any of the most talented young women in Wei Dynasty could give her a satisfactory answer.She hopes that what they write is what they think, because only when they think about it can they do it in the future.

It is true that the Wei Dynasty was prosperous, the treasury was abundant, and the people's lives were decent; however, the more people live in this kind of singing and dancing, the more likely they are to accumulate ills, which will become a big hidden danger in the future, and even in the present.

And the concise title "Senior Minister" also represents the major changes she will make to the court affairs: she needs an efficient and vigorous organization to help her get rid of her ills, whether it is government affairs, criminal names or military affairs.

The exam started as scheduled, and because the emperor was present, the atmosphere was a bit unusual, and all the candidates were a little nervous. They were quick-witted in the past, but they couldn't change their minds at this time.

Mochi's mood is different from that of most people.When she saw Yuan Youqi appear for the first time, Xinchao was very shocked because of lovesickness.Yuan Youqi misses her, why doesn't she miss Yuan Youqi?

The amazement at first meeting and the agitation in my heart were quickly suppressed by Mochi.She restrained her mind and followed the crowd to salute Yuan Youqi meticulously under the command of the etiquette officer.After the ceremony, she lowered her eyes again, only focusing on the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk in front of her.

From the beginning to the end, she never exchanged a glance with Yuan Youqi.Even though she knew it very well, Yuan Youqi's eyes turned to where she was from time to time.Even though she was very clear, Yuan Youqi was looking forward to the response from her eyes.

Can't look at, can't look at each other, otherwise, it will not only attract the attention of others, but also make a lovesick heart more chaotic.

After finally seeing the examination paper, Mo Chi's heart gradually settled down.The tacit understanding between her and Yuan Youqi made her realize the moment Yuan Youqi wanted to change the court affairs when she saw the examination paper. Expectations for the New Deal rose in my heart.All of a sudden, the thoughts jumped, and the words and sentences emerged in the mind, only to flow into the pen.

Mochi sorted out the thoughts in his mind and polished them up a bit, so he spread out the answer sheet, picked up the pen, dipped in the ink, and wrote the pen, heartily.

She was completely engrossed in the answer sheet, unaware of the rapid passage of time between the pen and paper, and the surroundings had already undergone some changes——

The ink on the end of the pen was exhausted, and the ink pool temporarily closed the pen, twisting the pen holder, just about to dip the thick ink in the inkstone, but the arm that was raised in the air suddenly froze.

Because, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a sapphire blue shadow walking towards her position with very familiar footsteps.

The arm of the ink pool trembled slightly. If the ink on the tip of the pen hadn't dried early, with such a shake, I'm afraid that the large ink spots dripping down would stain the roll of paper.

No one knew Yuan Youqi better than Mo Chi, she immediately understood why Yuan Youqi came towards her: she wanted to get closer.Even if two people can't recognize each other, at least, they can get closer to each other in this way, so as to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Why doesn't Mochi have this idea?But at this moment, it is definitely not the time for two people to relieve the pain of lovesickness.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the majestic king of a country inexplicably approached a small female imperial examination candidate, what would others think?

Mochi's fingers gripped the pen holder uncontrollably, and she still had lingering fears about what Wei Zhen did in Yunxu Temple that day.All lovers in the world long for the safety and happiness of their loved ones, and she will never let Yuan Youqi be criticized for nothing because of herself.

Yuan Youqi lived a clean and frank life, and in the future, he should also be written in the history books cleanly and frankly, instead of being speculated for no reason by villains.

Yuan Youqi really couldn't hold back his emotions, so he got close to Mochi by the name of patrolling the examination room.

She missed Mochi too much, and the rationality of being an emperor in the past, when she saw Mochi, most of them retreated in a hopeless manner.

The Xuanhua Hall is very spacious, and there are no more than forty candidates in the palace examination. The desks and seats are lined up in the Xuanhuadian, and the distance between them is more than half a zhang, which is enough for Yuan Youqi not to affect other candidates' answers. At the same time, approaching the ink pool.

Yuan Youqi waved back and followed others, even Tang Xi didn't let Tang Xi follow, but paced among the crowd on his own, as if patrolling, but actually walked towards Mochi calmly.

Her behavior surprised all the ministers who read the papers and the clerks present, but they didn't think much about it.They thought that the emperor was going to put on a bowing gesture of a corporal.However, Tang Xi, especially the guards on both sides of the main hall, were nervous.Liang Shaoan watched Yuan Youqi's every move closely, and his palms were already clenched on the hilt of the sword at his waist——

Of course he recognized Mochi, and Liang Shaoan guessed to some extent why the emperor himself came to the crowd.But what happened to the woman in the stone blue skirt next to the ink pool?

Even if you saw the Emperor Longyan with your own eyes, you wouldn't be so nervous, right?

Could it be that this woman is an assassin?Looking for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor in the imperial examination!

Thinking of this, Liang Shaoan opened his tiger eyes wide, and quietly gave a wink to the nearby subordinates.All the guards understood and put their palms on the weapons they carried with them. They only waited for the woman in the stone blue skirt to show any strangeness, and they rushed forward to order her to subdue her.
